  1. One draw of these secondary destinations is the very fact that they are more challenging to get to, and have not been over-touristed. Pumping in more tourists almost seems self-defeating.
  2. Arriving? Departing? Thai? Foreigner? Foreign, departing -- egates but make sure you are eligible. There have been threads/questions here about using these with various visa/permission to stay authorizations. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/12/11/suvarnabhumi-auto-departure-passport-control-is-open-to-foreigners/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1314045-suvarnabhumi-airport-opens-automated-channels-to-foreign-travellers/
  3. Who knows what thaksin agreed to in order to facilitate his, and Yingluck's return? The rumor mill suggests that he is beholden to the . Putting down any future suggestions of reforms, and punishing those who supported such suggestions, would seem to be the minimum. 14 million voters be damned.
  4. Barely a day goes by without mention of a massive bust of methamphetamine pills, the typical haul is 10 million tablets, or tens of kilograms of crystal meth. Obviously most of these drugs are merely being transshipped across Thailand, from Myanmar to ports in the south, destined for Australia, Europe and the Americas. But a lot falls off the truck/boat and is easily the number one public health concern for Thais.
  5. Boeing 737-800 was missing an external panel when it landed in Oregon No emergency was declared for the United Airlines flight, and there was no indication of damage when the aircraft was in the air. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boeing-737-800-was-missing-external-panel-landed-oregon-rcna143686
  6. Comes with extra protein... bugs, rat droppings Charge extra for it.
  7. Did he bring his Russian translator? Does he need a visa to visit the annexed parts of Phuket?
  8. One person's "cautionary note" is another's "threat". In that case, it should be easy for "the government" to defend the actions taken. The pardon from eight years to one year seemed curious. As does the preferred treatment.
  9. "Excuse me Comrade Putin, are my lips properly applied to your posterior?"
  10. Back to Nazi book burning... "Nazis, I hate these guys." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epgxlHttNDo
  11. Some "duchess-level" work on that photo. This poor sap will be sacked by his boss after Songkran.
  12. We could but they were burned, and I don't think the Nazis recorded the titles/authors. Do let us know if your research turns anything up.
  13. I think most of us are triggered by Nazis, I know I am. Many, like me, want to see them all die a horrible death, a la melting away upon viewing the spirits released from the Lost Ark. (Indy 5 was actually quite enjoyable, Mads Mikkelsen makes a perfect Nazi.) Others probably start to think about a shopping trip to Hugo Boss. Or "how do these jackboots make me look?" I did recently rewatch "Where Eagles Dare", where Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton dispatch what seemed like a thousand Nazis. So satisfying.
  14. Well, in this case, you can lay the blame at Ms. Rowling's feet. Regarding movies, Nazis still make awesome villains. But maybe Jim Caviezel will make a sympathetic bio-pic about Dr. Mengele?
  15. Although he did ask the reporter if they had Jodie's contact information. 😉
  16. More likely methamphetamine, I'm sure they tested him.
  17. Yes, correct. AFAIK. They just use the word "camps", where undocumented persons will be concentrated to facilitate deportation. I think we'll fall back to the more acceptable "Internment" Camps. That worked in WW2, but did still leave an indelible stain on our democracy.
  18. Performance Review. Bottom Line: Needs Improvement
  19. Well the lead-in to the article explains that too... There were/have been changes in many aspects of alcohol taxation: import, excise, ad valorem. This article is about wine.
  20. Yeah, that, or a diseased liver. https://aseannow.com/topic/1320938-thai-government-seeks-to-mandate-graphic-warnings-on-alcohol-products/
  21. Explained in the article...
  22. Of course there's corruption. D'Oh, I forgot.
  23. The phrase "Get a room" was never more appropriate.
